Change Log

Service Name	Service Version	Ticket No.	Description
Backup	5.19.1	LCD-40366	Security : Use workload identity for all buckets except global and regional
		LCD-40043	Move deletion of leftover restore files to an initContainer Fixes:Backup Creation/restore Permission errors *
		LCD-40585	Fix : Parallelize Backup Cleanup Scheduler

Note  :

LCD-40366 Provides a more secure way of processing Backup Operations. It is strongly recommended that all customers update to this latest version to reduce potential security risks to their application. 

 

LCD-40043 Fixes Permission error encountered during a Backup Creation/Restore Process. This issue happens only for certain customers updating backup from an older service version. They might see errors like - 

tar: ./dlafs/document_library/20116/52362931: Cannot open: Permission denied

opendir "/mnt/prepare-restore/document_library" failed: Permission denied (13)
cannot delete non-empty directory: document_library

LCD-40585 will help ensure Backup Cleanup Scheduler runs much more faster than before. This also fixes an issues that prevents Backup Creation Scheduler to run successfully, although this only happens for customers who take auto Backups quite frequently.

Update Instructions

Note : To take advantage of the new features and fixes provided by the 5.x stack of services, you must update your entire stack to the new 5.x images.

Image Update Instructions

The Liferay Cloud image versions needs to be set inside of the <service>/LCP.json file.

Note, however, that the liferay service uses two image properties. The DXP Cloud image is set in the liferay/LCP.json file, but the liferay/dxp image is set in the gradle.properties. This change was made in order to facilitate easier deployment using the Liferay Cloud CLI.

liferay/LCP.json file would set the liferaycloud/liferay-dxp image: 

"image":"liferaycloud/liferay-dxp:7.4-5.X.X"

liferay/gradle.properties file would set the liferay/dxp image:

liferay.workspace.docker.image.liferay=liferay/dxp:2024.q1.1

For all other images, you will just need to update the LCP.json file with the intended image version.

Once the LCP.json files are updated, commit the changes to your Git repository.

git add . && git commit -m "Update dxp cloud stack to XXX"

After pushing these changes to the remote repository, a build will be created in Liferay Cloud and it is ready to deploy.
